PCOM Charity Ball Benefitting Beyond the Bars is fundraising
Support Beyond the Bars at Charity Ball
Biannually, the Psychology Council at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) hosts a Charity Ball where members of our local and university community come together to raise donations and celebrate a Philadelphia non-profit charity.

This year, we will be honoring Beyond the Bars Music, a Philadelphia non-profit organization working to provide youth who have been impacted by violence or the incarceration system with the opportunity to grow through music programs.

By donating to this GoFundMe, you will be helping the Charity Ball Committee reach their fundraising goal- with all proceeds going directly towards Beyond the Bars and the wonderful work that they do!

Beyond the Bars Fundraiser for 40 Musical Labs

Beyond the Bars is working to build 40 musical labs throughout Philadelphia to make musical outlets accessible to any youth who have been impacted by violence. Through our youths' leadership they have worked to build recording labs full of refurbished computers (the students also learn IT) and instruments so that students throughout the city can express themselves and work towards their musical goals. To date we have built musical labs and programs in locations such as youth shelters, trauma clinics, foster care, diversion, recreation centers and programs for youth who have been physically or sexually abused. We use music to engage youth and then connect them with the resources of our amazing community partners to ensure that their needs are met as they work towards their future. These labs are further staffed by student teachers who are trained and then compensated to be leaders for the next generation. With your help we can complete our building of 40 music labs and have a city where music is an accessible right that all youth can have.

More information about Beyond The Bars Inc: MISSION Beyond The Bars is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to opening creative, musical spaces to youth who have been impacted by the incarceration system. We use music as a means to promote self efficacy and expression to our talented young people. Our programs led by Philadelphia based teachers and musicians foster a creative atmosphere and provide well rounded and engaging musical sessions. Through this, we support our young people to realize who they are as musicians.

Help Us Rebuild our Studios for our Youth
Beyond the Bars works to build musical and recording spaces for youth throughout Philadelphia that have been impacted by violence in any way. These spaces are built with our community so that our students can realize the talented artists and leaders they are free of charge. To date we have built 11 musical labs throughout the city with our incredible community partners. These labs and programs have been built in spaces such as homeless shelters, trauma centers, anti-violence spaces, food banks, and schools. In each of these labs and programs we have seen incredible young people find their medium for growth and realize their talent as artists.

Sadly over the last few months (including last weekend) two of our partner spaces have been broken into with a substantial portion of our recording labs being taken. We are currently fundraising to help rebuild these studios. Any additional funding will go straight towards building additional recording labs for our youth in the city. Our community is full of amazing leaders and youth and with your support we can continue to make the musical spaces our youth deserve more accessible.
